The rangers were in their first mod Ethan was focused, Connor was in his own world, and Kira was taking notes, but really focused on the lyrics and beats that was playing around in her head.

Tommy tried to not to just sigh and give up "Can anyone tell me the theories that scientist have on the extinction of the dinosaurs?" Ethan raised his hand

"Meteor rocks"

"Good thanks Ethan anyone else?" Kira raised her hand

"The lack of water since it was frozen"

"Thank you Kira, anyone else?" Silence filled the room

"Okay you guys for homework study page…" the bell rung and the children speed walked out his class which is and understatement they ran out of his class practically tripping over each other.

"Am I that bad?"

"Nah, just boring" Kira said laying a hand on his shoulder his eyes cut sharply towards her. "But very handsome to look at" she added with a sincere smile.

"Dude your just not fun" Conner said

"What did I tell you about calling me dude?" Tommy asked

"It makes you feel younger then you really are?" the teacher groaned

"No use in telling him" Ethan told the science teacher "Wait Dr. O isn't your birthday coming up soon?"

Birthdays were a sore topic for him "Yeah"

"So what are you going to do for it?"

"Well I'll do nothing and patrol the city" the three soon to be adults' mouths were wide open.

"Dr. O that's not…" the late bell rung the two boys ran out his class. Kira stopped to look at her teammate "We'll finish this later" she said in a fake deep voice. He laughed at her silliness.

During all her periods Kira couldn't help, but think about Tommy she saw the sad look that overcame his features when she brought up the topic about his birthday.

'Has he ever had good memories about his birthday?" Kira felt her heart sink for the ranger, but determination soon replaced it. 'Well I'll make sure he has a good birthday'

Till the end of school Tommy's birthday occupied her mind the bell rung signaling the end of school she ran into her two friends she grabbed them by their arms dragging them outside.

"We need to do something for Dr. O's birthday"

"Kira I doubt if he would want us to do anything for his birthday"

"I'm sure he wants us to, but is afraid to ask"

"Yeah, whatever Kira I'm not meddling"

"Come on you guys please" the boys looked at each other then rolled their eyes

"Alright Kira what do you have in mind?"

"Well… I don't know yet"

"Aw hell" they said in unison. A horn honked behind them and they jumped

"Come on" Kira turned to them. "And don't say a word to him about it"

"Go figure" Ethan replied with sarcasm and she rolled her eyes.

"Don't say a word to him about what?"

"Conner!" she hissed

"Seriously don't tell Dr. O about what?" she pulled him by the ear into the car

"Ouch, ouch let go Kira" he whined. Tommy could only look on in confusion while Kira smiled and Ethan shrugged. Once they reached his house and got inside they were calm except for Conner who wanted to hit Kira for pulling his ear.

"What do you want us to do?"

"Help me sort through these piles"

"Which consist of?" Ethan asked

"Old photos, homework, trophies, games, and other stuff"

"I'll look through the photos" Kira said

"I'll look through the homework" Ethan said

"I'll look through the trophies and games" Connor.

They went to work and hours later Kira came across and old picture of six people in power ranger outfits "Hey Dr. O who are they?" he came next to her looking at the picture of him and his friends.

"The very first power ranger"

"Cool the guy in the white is hot you wouldn't mind if I cut him out?" she asked and he blushed.

"Kira that's me"

"What?" she took the picture and held it up to her teacher's face and was surprised then she blushed.

"Okay lets pretend earlier did not happen" he pointed out the names of the rangers

"You have a lot of pictures with the pink rangers"

"Yeah we use to date she was the love of my life" Kira saw his eyes go into deep thought.

"What happened?"

"She dumped me"

"Sorry I shouldn't have asked" she felt bad.

"It's okay don't sweat it" Kira picked up another picture, but this time it held a blond haired lady

'Damn Dr. O got around much' she thought

"That was Kat she was the second ranger after Kim and my ex girlfriend" Kira looked up at him

"You sure got a spot for pink rangers" he laughed maybe he did "Good thing I'm yellow" she said

"Yeah good thing"

"What do you want me to do with them?"

"Throw them away"

"What! Dr. O don't you think it's wise to keep them?"

"I did and now it's time for me to toss them" he said walking away. Something told her to keep and she did putting them in her backpack. They took a break sitting down

"Okay Dr. O you are the biggest pack rat in the world" Ethan said the older man only smiled.

"Being a ranger doesn't really give you all that free time especially being a teacher"

They had a few more rounds of discussion then went back to work it was about 11:00 when they finished sweaty and tired Tommy dropped the males' home and his last stop was Kira's house.

"You okay?" he asked after there had been a long silence "Uh huh" she said as she felt bad for stealing his pictures of old girlfriends and friends. Gosh anyone would think she was crazy and put her in an asylum.

Tommy would glance at her every now and then seeing her face in a frown 'What's wrong with her?' he thought.

"Thanks" she said hopping out the car without even a goodbye he frowned, but went home. While she was in her room she took out the box and looked through its contents she was looking for a way for Dr. O to have a great birthday and maybe their what she needed.

After school all the three teens tried to figure out what to get their commander. "Well what could we possibly get for him?" Connor asked Trent came around the corner "How about games?"

"He doesn't seem like the game type at all"

"Tommy isn't the kind of guy that dwells on gifts I'm sure you guys caring is enough" Hayley added and the red ranger snorted

"Well when it's my birthday I want presents, not your caring, because I can't refund them"

"That depends on if we even want to get you a present" he mellowed at that information and cursed under his breath. Kira got one of the pictures out and showed it to Hayley.

"Do you know who they are?"

"Yeah of course man that was an old picture"

"Id their anyway I can reach them?"

"I could contact Billy and I'm sure he'll find the others, but why?"

"It's a surprise for Dr. O"

"What about me?" Kira jumped hiding the picture something Hayley found weird

"Hey Dr. O" she said on a quivery note.

"So what were you saying?" Everyone looked at one another wondering who was going to say something to him. Ethan spoke up "Your goatee has to go man I mean it scares us seriously" Connor and Kira snickered "Well get use to it, because it's not coming off" the three faked a groan.

"Tommy, Trent can you guys load these in the trucks?" both men nodded and went to work Hayley went next to Kira whispering "I'll get to it today"

"Great"

The four Dino rangers went back to Tommy's house to train Kira was distracted to a tee he noticed "Kira stay focused"

"I am"

"Oh really?"

"Yes" she said rolling her eyes little did she know she would have to prove it. He quickly turned invisible then appeared behind her one arm around her neck and another around her stomach.

"Try to get out of this" his voice was dangerously deep sending a shiver down Kira's spine then the way his steels arms were around her. Kira began feeling tingly his arms tightened again and she felt his chest and god did it feel great, but quickly coming out of it she took the arm around her stomach and then flipped him over and he landed on the floor with a powerful thump.

"Yeah you were paying attention" he grunted out after all the training they sat at his kitchen while he poured them a drink. Kira went home feeling weird being around Tommy as she climbed up the stairs.

"I must be losing it" she decided then drifted to sleep. At least three hours later she waked up to the sound of her door being kicked in "Dad?" she said horrified, because she knew he was drunk and the consequences for when he was drunk.

He stalked towards her as she tried to run he punched her across the face and she tumbled back falling into her nightstand. He lunged at her pressing her tightly to him and the wall.

"Mom! Mommy help!" she screamed tears on her cheeks. Mrs. Ford was in her room and could hear her daughter scream and knew why Jake was trying to abuse her again, but not wanting to get the blunt beating if she tried to stop the fight she put on the radio and turned up the volume drowning out her daughters' cries.

Okay this is my first Power Ranger story, but I've been reading the stories for a while and I really enjoy them. Well I would like to know what you guys think. R&R please and thank you.
